You may be asking the wrong list.  FreeBSD is not Linux, although it
can run many Linux binaries if configured appropriately.

For Linux, you probably want to be looking into something along the
lines of Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandrake, or Suse.

If it is FreeBSD you want to install try

%fetch ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/6.1/6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

from a command prompt (the above command is all on one line). If you are using a windows computer, go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org and navigate to the directory above and download 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso.

When it has downloaded burn it to CD and boot from the CD. You can install just from 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso. 6.1-RELEASE-i386-disc2.iso has more software packages but you can install them later online.
